Change in Idaho Houshold Income

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - New census estimates show a 5 percent increase in median household income across Idaho last year. The new figures released this week snap a three-year slide that produced in the state one of the worst recession-era losses in household income nationally. Estimates put 2012 median household income at $45,489, meaning half the state's 580,000 households had higher incomes while half fell below that mark.
